A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace Chapter 1424 - 1422: You’re Jealous?

Shih Shaoling looked bewildered.

"Yue Er? What are you saying?"

Yue Er’s lips curled into a cold smile as she stood up and looked at him indifferently.

"Don’t you understand what I’m saying in your heart?"

"Yesterday’s assassination attempt was orchestrated by you, wasn’t it!"

Shih Shaoling’s expression was shocked, and he slowly straightened up.

"Why would you think that?"

"Why would I think that? You should be asking yourself!"

Yue Er sneered again.

Articulately, with a clear mind, she listed several reasons.

For example:

The outing yesterday was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and those around us were all familiar, so no one could have leaked our whereabouts.

Another example:

In broad daylight, under the eye of The King, no one would dare to take such a big risk to assassinate the most favored princess of the Royal Family.

Another example:

There are several Imperial Horse Racing Fields in the Suburbs of the Capital, all guarded by the Imperial Forest Army. How did those people manage to breach the patrols without being discovered?

The twists and turns in this could fool other young girls, but Yue Er understood it thoroughly and couldn’t possibly be unaware.

So...

"If there was no insider, they could never have gotten in!"

Shih Shaoling was a bit shocked, and his eyes began to fill with guilt.

"Yue Er, you... you actually understand all this?"

Yue Er looked sarcastic.

"Why?"

"Do you think I shouldn’t understand?"

"Or are you saying... if I didn’t understand, you would have kept lying to me, keeping me in the dark without telling me the truth?"

Her emotions gradually became agitated, tears slowly welled up at the corners of her eyes, and even her voice trembled a little.

Her gaze was like a sharp sword pointed directly at Shih Shaoling’s throat.

As if if he spoke another lie, she would immediately pierce his throat.

Shih Shaoling felt a bit of pain in his heart, and the guilt in his eyes grew stronger.

"Yue Er! Let me explain!" he said cautiously.

Yue Er closed her eyes, letting the tears flow down her cheeks.

"As expected!"

"You really did it on purpose!"

Shih Shaoling scratched his head anxiously.

"I’m sorry, I..."

He was distressed, pained, and anxious.

In frustration, he tore off the bandage wrapped around himself and knelt on one knee in front of Yue Er.

With a resolute expression, he said.

"Yue Er!"

"In my whole life, I, Shih Shaoling, have been upright and honest, except for being a bit clever in loving you!"

"I feel guilty in my heart, I have wronged you!"

No matter who came up with the idea, he took all the responsibility upon himself.

After all, his brothers were only looking out for him, and he couldn’t let them down.

He looked straight at Yue Er and continued to speak.

"Even if you didn’t investigate this matter, I wouldn’t be able to keep it bottled up inside for long!"

"I like you and want to marry you. I don’t want the slightest impurity in my love for you!"

"Before, I could openly tell you!"

"But now..."

He gave a bitter smile.

"I feel unworthy of you!"

"This matter is wrong, and a mistake is a mistake. If you blame me, I have nothing to say. If you don’t blame me... I can’t forgive myself either!"

The wound on his skin had reopened, and bright red blood slowly flowed down along the lines of his skin and the folds of his clothes.

Yue Er’s heart tightened completely.

She wanted to rush over and scold him, then sincerely tell him ’I’m willing’.

However, her legs felt as heavy as lead, her heart ached as if torn apart, and her throat seemed stuffed with cotton, unable to speak a word.

Only tears silently flowed down her cheeks.

Shih Shaoling’s heart shattered.

He never expected Yue Er to be this heartbroken.

If he had known earlier, he would have rather cut off his hands and feet than deceive her.

Even at the cost of his life, he would never make her cry.

But now... everything was too late.

"Yue Er!"

He got up and tried to hold her.

Yue Er suddenly took a step back.

"You... stay away, liar!"

"I don’t want to hear any more lies from you!"

"What good does it do to say so much, you still lied to me!"

She cried as she turned and ran away.

Shih Shaoling instantly jumped up from the bed and chased after her frantically.

Even though he was injured, even though his blood was already flowing, even though... he was in pain.

But... compared to the woman he loved the most, what did that matter?

Yue Er ran very fast.

Although she had only recently learned lightness skills, she was very perceptive and could already run along rooftops without difficulty.

As soon as she left the courtyard, her petite figure disappeared.

Shih Shaoling was anxious and had to rely on his intuition to find her.

The two chased each other for half a Shi Chen before finally stopping at an artificial hill by the moat.

Yue Er was panting heavily.

"Why are you following me? I’m just coming here to clear my mind!"

Shih Shaoling ignored his bloodied body and moved closer.

"I’m worried about you!"

Yue Er sneered.

"But you lied to me!"

Shih Shaoling lowered his head, and after a while, he finally raised it again, his gaze firm.

"I did lie to you!"

"Yue Er, I can swear to you!"

"In this life, this is the first and last time!"

"I swear on my life!"

Yue Er was a bit agitated and gave him a fierce glare.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

"Swear on your life, are you crazy!"

But her heart had already softened.

This man, he’s simply crazy.

If he likes someone, can’t he just say it? Why go around in such a big circle, only to end up deceiving and being deceived.

Yue Er took a deep breath and solemnly asked.

"If I’m that important to you!"

"Is it so hard to say it to my face?"

"Do you really have to do it this way?"

She was hurt, disappointed, and very sad.

She never imagined that this was how they would begin.

Shih Shaoling shook his head, then nodded.

Yue Er angrily punched him.

"What do you mean!"

Shih Shaoling was anxious and in a panic, he suddenly grabbed her hand.

"Yue Er!"

"Marry me!"

"I, Shih Shaoling, will protect you with my life!"

Yue Er: "..."

...

Despite starting in such a disagreeable way.

Yue Er reluctantly accepted.

Seeing him already covered in blood, his expression twisted, she felt both happy and angry.

"You’re simply insane!"

Shih Shaoling chuckled foolishly.

"Pretty much, I am insane!"

Yue Er: "..."

"Are you an idiot?"

"Hmm!" Shih Shaoling nodded.

"By the way, if you marry me, aren’t you afraid of hurting your delicate cousin’s feelings?"

"You can’t possibly be unaware of her feelings!"

Shih Shaoling twitched his lips but asked with some pride.

"Are you jealous?"

Yue Er raised a fist to hit him.

Shih Shaoling quickly moved closer, explaining with a smile.

"Yue Er, we grew up together, I have always seen her as a sister, nothing more, nor will there ever be!"

Yue Er squinted her eyes and nodded in satisfaction.

"That’s more like it!"

...

The weather in April gradually grew warmer.

Yue Er didn’t return to Fengyu Pavilion until the afternoon.

While resting on the couch, she still felt somewhat dazed.
